I asked Google Gemini for lists of topic-specific getting-to-know-you questions. It did pretty okay for a while, but most of what it suggested were questions we’ve already answered. Then, a couple of fresher ones popped into my head. I’ve found this to be one of AI’s good uses — a nice way to brainstorm on your way to good ideas of my own.

  1. What movie do you think everyone should see?
  2. What song describes your overall mood or outlook on life right now?
  3. What’s the most memorable food you’ve eaten while traveling?
  4. When were you most recently disappointed by the closing of a store or restaurant?
  5. How have you been sleeping lately?

Thanks for participating, and have a pleasant, safe weekend. 🙂

Yes, we’ve done a similar theme, sort of. Fresh questions.

  1. What is your favorite shape for ice in a beverage?
  2. When did you last apply ice (or something functioning similarly) to your body?
  3. What was the occasion for your most recently toting something with ice in a cooler?
  4. What is the iciest movie you’ve seen?
  5. What are some good songs with “ice” in the title or lyrics?

Do I ask versions of #5 too often? If so, I apologize. I just love playing this game. It’s a fun way to make a long drive in slow traffic (for example) a little more tolerable. “Top five songs about the ocean! Go!”

Thanks for participating, and have a wonderful, safe weekend. 🙂 :*
